audience chamber
Monarch's meeting hall
An audience chamber is a formal room where a monarch, noble, or other high-ranking figure receives visitors and conducts official business.
The term emphasizes ceremony and hierarchy—subjects are granted an audience with the ruler, not a casual meeting.
The ambassador waited nervously outside the king's audience chamber.
The phrase evokes medieval and Renaissance courts but applies to any formal reception space.
